Canaries on the Rim: Living Downwind in the West af Chip Ward
A Grantsville librarian turned reluctant environmental activist fights the incineration and unauthorized airborne release of thousands of pounds of nerve agents and other toxic materials from the military munitions disposal area near Toole, Utah. Along the way he digs up a scary array of other ecological disasters happening in the Great Basin Desert.
The author is the assistant director of the Salt Lake City Public Library System and a political activist. This book effectively argues that people must end using and sacrificing the environment for constructing, developing, and sustaining our our way of life. Ward speaks of the greater need to balance our civilization with our planet's ecosystems.
